I'm a writer/engineer in Oregon's Coast Range, near Corvallis. After maintaining a focus on nonfiction books for many years, I'm back in the fiction-writing saddle. ABOUT MY FICTION Silver Buckshot. This is my fantasy adventure/romance. It's being released as a serial with new episodes every Sunday. "Thirteen-year-old Princess Flavia has endured a lot recently. Polio crippled her legs and killed her mother, her father is sunk in grief, and her servants veer between negligence and cruelty. She takes refuge in her books and never complains. But she draws the line at being murdered. She enlists fourteen-year-old Frank Barron, fresh from the California side of the gateway and the world's most aggravating boy, to conceal her when the coup attempt begins. Things get interesting after that..." This story is available on Amazon's Kindle Vella platform at https://amzn.to/3ziy2YH. The first three episodes are free. Check it out! One Survivor. This is my first novel, a science-fiction adventure. "Lost, Friendless, and Outgunned: Fifteen-year-old Beverly di Mendoza knew something was up when her father cut short their Terran layover and changed their route to pass through Barigost, a backwater planet she had never heard of. But when their ship was attacked outside Barigost's atmosphere, she realized that it wasn't about diplomacy anymore, but betrayal and murder. Maybe, with the aid of the colorful if primitive locals, she can survive." Available in paperback and on Kindle at https://amzn.to/3NrQzpG. MY NONFICTION BOOKS My first book, Through Dungeons Deep: A Fantasy Gamers' Handbook, was originally published in 1981. It's available in paperback and on Kindle at https://amzn.to/3PXQqMp. During the 25 years my wife Karen and I raised free-range chickens, I wrote "Success With Baby Chicks," which delivers what it says on the label.

I have also reprinted a variety of titles under my Norton Creek Press label, including books on writing, gardening, poultrykeeping, and more.
